Chapter 522 Hesitation
Xiao smiled sadly, "Sixth sister, long time no see. This is a long story."
After saying this, Xiao turned her head and said to Shen Jun, "Husband, I can't go with you yet. Leave Yao'er to Sixth Sister and I will take you somewhere."
"Sister-in-law, there's no need to do this. We'll go with you." Shen Qingqian hurriedly took Shen Yao from Shen Jun.
But the little girl hadn't seen her for a long time and didn't recognize her. When she saw her reaching out, she hid in Shen Jun's arms.
Mr. Shen hadn't seen his wife and daughter for more than half a year. He didn't want to be apart from them even for a moment. He hugged his daughter's hand tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, Yuanyuan. We'll face anything together."
Yuanyuan is Xiao's maiden name.
"Then, let's go together." Xiao was a little nervous and glanced at Shen Qingqian and Shan Mancheng out of the corner of her eye.
She always felt that her sixth sister seemed to have changed, but apart from looking more mature than more than half a year ago, she couldn't tell what was different.
The other man was handsome and also a stranger, but my husband and sister-in-law seemed to be quite familiar with him. I guess he was someone they met after coming to northern Hubei.
These thoughts went through Xiao's mind, but did not affect her instructions to Shen Jun to drive and find the way.
Shen Qingqian was even more surprised and stared at Xiao's back with complicated eyes.
The Xiao family was not a wealthy family, but they had brought up their daughter to be exceptionally pretty and charming. It could be said that Xiao was the most ladylike person in the entire Shen family.
But at this moment, she no longer looked like a lady.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Shen Qingqian took out two animal fruit candies from the system warehouse, "Yaoyao, come to Sixth Aunt. Sixth Aunt misses you so much. Did Yaoyao forget Sixth Aunt?"
She held the candy and looked at the little girl sadly.
Chen Yao's personality is different from Shen Jin's. She has been timid and introverted since she was a child. Usually, she is closest to Shen Jun and his wife at home. The rest of the people are just familiar to her. Shen Qingqian no longer has much hope that she will get close to him.
But unexpectedly, when Chen Yao heard her words, she looked at the weather-beaten Xiao, bit her lips with her teeth, and then slowly moved towards Shen Qingqian.
"Yaoyao, be obedient. Yaoyao, remember Sixth Aunt."
After a moment of surprise, Shen Qingqian quickly hugged her in her arms, stuffed the candy into her mouth and praised her: "Oh, Yaoyao has a really good memory, and Yaoyao speaks more clearly than Sister Jin."
Chen Jin will be almost four years old after the Chinese New Year. Last year he couldn't speak fluently, but this year he is much better, but he still can't pronounce some words clearly.
Chen Yao was different. Every word she said just now was clear.
After receiving the praise, the little girl finally showed some embarrassment and went straight into Shen Qingqian's arms.
"Tangtang, so sweet." Chen Yao said in a low voice.
The faint smile on Shen Qingqian's face disappeared in an instant, and the hand holding the little girl tightened secretly.
In the past, at the Shen family, the children would never say such things. They could eat candies all the time and they were used to it. Even if they expressed their liking for something, they would say "delicious" instead of "sweet".
So, what happened to Xiao and Shen Yao in the past six months?
Not long after, the mule cart brought Shen Qingqian and the others to a dirty and messy alley.
"The car can't get in, let's get out and walk in." Shen Jun jumped out of the car and reached out to pick up Xiao.
Shan Mancheng naturally reached out to take Shen Qingqian.
"Thank you, Mr. Shan, but I can get down by myself." Shen Qingqian jumped down swiftly and turned around to hug Shen Yao who was sitting by the curtain.
Shan Mancheng lowered his eyes, then quickly looked back towards the alley ahead.
"They are inside, Brother Jun, I..." Xiao wrung her hands and lowered her head, speaking hesitantly.
